So I hoped you enjoyed the
highlights of my trip to Malaysia. A holiday isn't all about the visiting
the various attractions or even the destination. For me it was all about
that AND about the journey there.

To me Malaysia is modern yet has
the retained the essential parts of its history. People are still nice and the
all the different faces of Asia can be seen and experienced in the one country.
I am impressed that the historical settlements have been protected from
redevelopment. You can still see and experience what it was like to live
here from a British colony and earlier. It is a great balance.

Shopping and eating are the most
memorable things for me. Sure I didn't buy much but I found everything I
wanted and more was a bonus.

My journey was quite eventful by
usual standards! I had seat trouble due to the airline overbooking,
flight cancellation, other passengers who could not read, poor bus operators and
most of all burned coffee! Mind you I didn't complain because it is all
part of the experience. Travelling to any where else in the world can
result in the same experiences! Regardless I got to and did what I wanted to and had
lots of spare time to ponder over the meaning of life!

The picture above is durian
chendol a ice based desert which I think tastes great. There are other
flavours of course if this one is to exotic for you.
